Clifton Park launches service for lost pets

The town of Clifton Park has set up a free service on its website, CliftonPark.org, that allows residents to advertise missing pets.

The service is accessible at http://www.cliftonpark.org/lostpet/. Residents can upload an image of their pet, along with a description. Users will be asked for their name, address, e-mail address and telephone number, but that information will not be displayed to the public.

Once the pet is reported lost, cliftonpark.org staff will verify the legitimacy of the entry and post it on the website. The notice will be posted in the top right corner of the cliftonpark.org homepage. Town security and animal control officials will also be notified of the lost pet.

Good idea. Just about all towns have their own town web sites (like Clifton Park). Everyone can ask their town’s webmaster to post such listings, plus listings of rescues, shelters, etc. Kudos for the compassionate souls who make the effort!

There also is a website called http://www.findtoto.com – It does charge a fee depending on how much you want to spend and the service calls all local phone numbers in your area with a description of your pet and contact information for the owner if found.

Mark,
Thanks for helping spread the word about this! It’s a great free service to residents, and it didn’t cost any taxpayer money to create. Our web developer, ICOM Tech Services of Clifton Park, did it for free.
